Mobile devices are the bane of many CIOs concerns
 As
more companies embrace the broad usage of individually-owned mobile devices for
access to corporate applications and data, CIO are asked for guidance on the
establishment of an associated device usage policy.
Every organization needs to identify and develop mobile security policies to
be deployed which will provide adequate protection. The level of protection has
to be aligned with the level of risk that your organization is willing to
accept. These policies should ensure that the many regulatory or compliance
concerns that might be applicable are addressed.
 
Only by a partnership of information technology (IT), human resource (HR),
finance, and legal teams - working closely with your executive team and business
unit managers - can determine the exact corporate liable and/or individual
liable policy that best fits your company, meets its financial goals and
objectives, and takes into account security, legal, regulatory, tax, or other
requirements and considerations that may uniquely apply to your company and its
operations. - more information

Will IT spending increase in 2012
IT spending is expected to increase in 2012. After years of budgets crimped
by the economy, there is significant pent-up demand at companies around the
globe to drop some extra cash for the products and services theyÂ’ve been waiting
for to drive business forward. But weÂ’ve heard this song before. One research
fiorm that was bullish on IT spending last year, said that it could rise
somewhat significantly in 2012, yet in its latest report the research firm
acknowledges that its estimates might have been too optimistic. Global spending
on IT spending will still be up, the company says, but donÂ’t expect it to rise
too quickly.
Janco has found that consultants and contractors are starting to be hired
again.
The salary survey is updated twice a year; once in January and then again in

Compliance Best Practices
Security compliance best practices include:
- Combine written content, usage, and retention policies with a Hosted
Managed Email Archiving Service to ensure an organization's ability to
preserve, locate, and produce legally valid email evidence. Unmanaged email
and other record management solutiond can trigger financial, productivity, and
legal issues for your organization when it a finds itself in a workplace
lawsuit. The cost and time required to produce subpoenaed email, retain legal
counsel, secure expert witnesses, mount a legal battle, and cover jury awards
and settlements is ver costly. Best practices call for a proactive approach to
email and business records management.
- Utilize a proven archiving technology to ensure forensic compliance. For
example, by encrypting and archiving a copy of every business record and
internal and external email sent or received and across the organization, a
Hosted Managed Email Archiving Service solution guarantees that your email is
secure and tamperproof. Nothing in your archive can be deleted or altered.
Everything in your archive is legally compliant.
- Ensure that financial data and related documents are effectively protected
from malware, viruses, and other malicious intruders - and are preserved in a
legally compliant manner in order to maximize SOX, GLBA, SEC, FINRA, and
PCI DSS compliance. This includes having solutions in place to manage
messaging threats and compling with regulatory requirements including Email
Anti-Virus, Email Archiving, Email Continuity, and Email Content Control.
- Meet HIPAA requirements by using formal policies, employee training,
and technology including email
Archiving, Anti-Virus, Continuity, and
Content Control Services to ensure compliant use of email to transmit and
store HIPAA-regulated patient information.
- Safeguard personal or sensitive data whose transmission falls under state
encryption laws or other privacy acts by deploying proven solutions that are
designed to effectively identify personal information in any electronic
transmission and, if necessary, block or encrypt the transmission.
- Reduce business and security risks associated with electronic
communication by implementing a formal electronic communication policy
that combines a written policy with employee training.

Where not to hide your password and user ids
 With
dozens of logins and passwords spread out across an equal number of sites and
apps, it's no wonder the average user tends to forget them. Even with a tried
and true system for generating memorable but complex passwords, the formula
could easily fall apart if you just can't remember it.
So rather than continually clicking the "Forget Your Password?" help link,
folks are readily hiding login information around their computer station.
And given that there's little variety in those secret locations, "hiding"
might be a stretch. The most common locations where folks hide their login info
are:
- Under the keyboard
- Under the phone
- Under the mouse pad
- On the monitor
- In the top drawer
- Under the desk
